Idioms with the letter S

Lack of recognition occurs when an individual’s contributions, achievements, or hard work go unacknowledged or unrewarded. This oversight can significantly impact employee motivation, engagement, and job satisfaction. When employees feel undervalued, they may experience decreased morale, reduced productivity, and increased turnover. Recognition is a fundamental human need, and its absence can create a negative work environment. Organizations that fail to recognize their employees' efforts risk damaging their employer brand and hindering their ability to attract and retain top talent. Effective recognition programs are essential for fostering a positive and productive workplace culture.

Examples:

Overlooking achievements: Failing to acknowledge employee accomplishments.

Inequitable rewards: Distributing rewards unfairly or inconsistently.

Lack of public acknowledgment: Not recognizing employees in front of peers.

Ignoring employee feedback: Disregarding employee suggestions or ideas.

Insufficient appreciation: Failing to express gratitude for employees' contributions.

Employees feeling undervalued should take proactive steps. This might involve documenting accomplishments, seeking feedback on performance, and initiating conversations with supervisors about career goals and recognition expectations. It's essential to maintain a professional and constructive approach, focusing on the impact of their work rather than personal feelings.  Ultimately, advocating for oneself is crucial in a work environment where recognition might be lacking.

Addressing lack of recognition requires a multifaceted approach. Organizations should implement formal recognition programs, provide opportunities for peer-to-peer recognition, and create a culture where appreciation is valued. By investing in employee recognition, organizations can reap the benefits of increased job satisfaction, improved employee engagement, and enhanced organizational performance.

Futurismo

In this story, an hourglass named Timer comes alive and is able to time travel. This is Part 5 of 6.  

Waking up at 5am, his most precious time of day when his genius flows like a mighty waterfall, Henry looked out his laboratory window and saw a magic moment: a baby chick was hatching from its egg. This was a sign, today Henry would complete his greatest invention. 

It looked like a simple household object, fairly inconspicuous, except for its futuristic black appearance. It had two chambers, one on the top and one on the bottom; the bottom was filled with yellow sand. They were connected by a narrow passage in which the sand flowed through. If an ordinary person had seen it, they would have believed it was an ordinary hourglass. 

But there was nothing ordinary about this hourglass. It was Henry’s latest attempt at engineering a time machine. 

Henry poured the remaining yellow sand into the top chamber and watched it fall to the bottom. He then tightly attached its cap. Taking a step back, Henry was overwhelmed with both exhilaration and trepidation. At that moment, a strong gust of wind came in through an open-window and scattered several documents across the floor. 

Henry flipped the hourglass and watched the yellow grains of sand travel through the narrow passage. As they hit the bottom, the grains changed to dark red. Henry looked out the window and saw the proud rising sun, a symbol of a new day. He watched as it slowly went back behind the mountains. He watched as the scattered documents flew up onto his desk and organized themselves as they previous were. He saw the baby chick return to its egg and the egg reassembled itself. 

Finally, the last grain of sand hit the bottom. Henry had traveled thirty minutes back in time.

こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日は、サッポロビール博物館について。
日本語のレッスンで、いろんな国の人と話をしますが、最近は旅行で日本に来る予定の人がとても増えましたね。

その中でも、北海道札幌に旅行で来られる方もいます。
今日は、妻と2人で札幌に行きました。サッポロビール博物館に行って、とても楽しかったので、その話をしようと思います。

札幌駅からは歩くと20分、ちょっとかかる場所にサッポロビール博物館があります。電車だと1駅のところにあります。天気が良いと歩くのが気持ち良いと思いますが、もちろん寒いです。今日は札幌は-3℃ぐらいでした。

サッポロビールはこの会社ができた明治時代、1880年代からの会社です。ドイツで修行した日本人、ビール醸造人がいたり、もともとは東京で醸造所、ビールを作る場所ができる予定だったのを、北海道につくに行った人がいたり、いろんなことがあって、札幌でサッポロビールが生まれたストーリーはとても面白いです。

そんな歴史を少し見ることができます。有料のツアーもありますが、今日は僕たちは無料で見学できるものを見ました。博物館の1階にはビアホールというのがあって、300円で、ビールとスナックを楽しめたり、800円で3種類の飲み比べができたり、アルコールが得意じゃない人は200円でノンアルコールのビールを飲むことができます。僕たちは今日車で札幌に行っていたので、ノンアルコールのビールを飲みました。でもノンアルコールとわからない位のビールの味がしたので2人ともびっくりしました。

周りの観光客の人は外国の人がとても多かったです。韓国の人が多かったように感じますが、ヨーロッパやアメリカの人も時々見ました。

この博物館の建物は明治時代の雰囲気のまま残っているので、とても歴史を感じることができます。こういったストーリーが好きな人はぜひ札幌に来た時は見に行くと面白いと思います。

ということで、簡単ですが、今日はサッポロビール博物館について話しました。この2月はスキーやスノーボードがシーズンだったり、2月4日から11日ぐらいまで祭りがあります。北海道や札幌はとても面白いシーズンだと思いますので、来る予定の人は楽しんでくださいね！

今回も最後まで聞いていただきありがとうございます。ではまた！
